The posterolateral region of the knee has a complex and diverse anatomy. Hydrarthrosis of the knee can potentially communicate with other parts of the joint space. The joint fluid distribution reflects anatomical communications between synovial spaces. To observe the continuity between the knee joint cavity and the surrounding bursa, we devised a dissection method with a new injection agent, an eosin-containing congealed liquid that spreads uniformly over the entire space.
